The only diet that I've had great success with was Slender Wonder. I lost 12kg's in 2 months and in that time we went on holiday for 2 weeks where I ate just what I wanted, didn't gain anything, but I could've lost more if I kept to my diet.I lost 8kg in the 1st month, which is normal when on the program. It's a bit expensive though but well worth it. I pay R1800pm but it depends on your doctor. Have a look on the slender wonder website under 'doctors' to find a doctor in your area.

Natasha - I did The Perfect Weight Centre. I was loosing so nicely - then I got divorced and couldnt carry on with the payments and didnt do the weaning off. But it REALLY works. My sister is on it at the moment and she has lost almost 30kg .... I personally went down 34kg - but like I said - once you start you have to carruy through until the end (weaning off) otherwise you will pick up again. Google it - The perfect Weight Centre. First bloods cost almost R2000.00 there after its about R1300.00 a month and its capsule you use 2 x a day - there is a diet you follow but I didnt really follow it and still lost.

Kerry - you wouldnt believe it if you looked at me now Apart from the fact that I am pregnant - if I had just weaned off I would look so much better!! Thats why I say you have to finish if you start!! Let me see if I have a before and after pic for you to see - and get an idea ow what I looked like and what I was after the 34kg ...

The ONLY thing that works for me (because I cannot follow a diet as I get depressed or frustrated being hungry and counting calories etc and then dont even see results), is cutting out certain foods. You will be surprised how quick you can lose weight if you cut out things.

I tried the 13 day diet and I do admit it did work but after day 5 I just couldnt anymore. Yes you are able to eat until you are full but the fullness fades quick and I got too hungry, especially before bedtime -

I did lose 3kg in those 5 days so ja, its rapid weight loss IF you can stick it out. I guess its a mind thing.

Haze, please send me that 17day one, I just want to compare and see if its similar. zabdi@broderickmarine.com
